About Us:
We are returning to our roots. Since 2023 AE Smith is a privately owned business once more, and its an understatment to say we have gone through a bit of a transition period. We are still the same organisation that has operated for over 120 years as an Australian industry leader in HVAC, building services and electrical markets, but we have a renewed approach to the way we work and operate. As asset specialists, we understand our #1 asset is our people. We’re proud of our team’s depth and breadth of experience and with over 600 of us united in our work and our brands, it’s unsurprising our average employee tenure is market leading, but we are always keen on adding new faces to our team.
Due to continued growth within our Cairns branch we are seeking applications from qualified Electricians with experience in commercial services and maintenance.

At AE Smith, we enable assets to live their best lives through smarter asset management solutions.
With over 120 years of expertise, we’re a recognised leader in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R), building services, plumbing, electrical, and painting.
Through AES Insights, we go beyond maintenance — offering advisory and building optimisation services to help customers create modern, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable assets.
As part of Amplius Group, we work alongside Nuvo and Envar to lead the future of infrastructure. By integrating next-generation HVAC, electrical, and building management technology, we’re delivering ‘better’ — for both people and the planet.
Together, we extend asset lifecycles, ensuring they perform at their best for longer. We streamline operations, reduce risk, and deliver cost-effective solutions — bringing buildings and facilities to life.
Our people are our greatest asset, so they always come first. We’re proud of our team’s depth and breadth of experience across the entire asset lifecycle. We back each other and ask how we can do better. We show up when it counts, and sustainability is our responsibility.
100% Australian-owned, AE Smith is backed by a leadership team with decades of ASX experience. With offices in Brisbane, Cairns, Gold Coast, Mackay, Melbourne, Rockhampton, Sydney, and Townsville, we provide flexible, tailored solutions to meet evolving needs.
